== Precise SRU Justification ==

Whenever a device is unregistered in vmbus_device_unregister (drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c), the device name in the log message may contain garbage as the memory has already been freed by the time pr_info is called.  This commit is in mainline as of v3.11-rc3.  However, it was not cc'd to stable.  A request was sent upstream to have this patch included in the 3.2.y, 3.4.y and 3.10.y stable kernels. 


== Fix ==

commit 84672369ffb98a51d4ddf74c20a23636da3ad615

    Drivers: hv: vmbus: incorrect device name is printed when child device is unregistered


== Test Case ==

A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.  The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
